[OpenIndiana-discuss] why is an old version of openssl still active

[Marc Lobelle]

Hello

Today I updated openindiana on my server (that I use also as desktop).

I had tried to compile the last version of emailrelay (the one I was 
using was more than 15 years old) and make complains that my openssl was 
too old. this was my main motivation to update openindiana.

After that I verified if openssl was now up to date

ml at spitfire:/home/ml$ pkg list |grep ssl
library/perl-5/io-socket-ssl-536 2.89-2024.0.0.0            i--

library/security/openssl-31 3.1.7-2024.0.0.1           i-r*

The old version (1.0.2) is still there but  the new version (3.4.1) is 
there too

However if I type "openssl version"

I get the answer

ml at spitfire:/home/ml$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2u  20 Dec 2019

I understand that the old openssl is still there because at least the 
old emailrelay uses it but how can I replace it with the new one for the 
application that need the new version or for all applications if the new 
version is upward-compatible with the old one ?

Thanks

Best regards
